Customer Review: A treasure trove of definitions, examples, and ideas...
Summary: 5 Stars
A diversity of critical voices and photographic approaches is explored, giving the reader access to a rich world of creative thought?Barrett defines criticism as "informed discourse about art to increase understanding and appreciation of art." He organizes his treatment of the four major activities of criticism?describing, interpreting, evaluation, and theorizing?which in turn address four basic questions: What is here? What is it about? How good is it? Is it art? ?The book provides in two short appendixes, practical advice on writing about photographs and on conducting casual and directed discussion of photographs?
